What Is PBS KIDS and What Can You Find on pbskids.org?
Updated
PBS KIDS (pbskids.org) is the children's media brand of PBS, offering educational games and videos built around shows such as Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood and Wild Kratts. It's aimed at parents and caregivers looking for screen time that mixes entertainment with learning for young children. You can browse without an account, and the site's own description frames it simply as "educational games and videos."
What the site offers
The homepage is organized around two main content types:
- Games — interactive activities tied to PBS KIDS series, intended to reinforce skills through play.
- Videos — clips and full episodes from the show library.
A Site Menu on the page lets you move between these sections and individual shows.
Video picks and full episodes
The homepage features a "Video Picks of the Week" section that rotates current highlights. Recent examples from the page include:
| Show | Featured content | Length |
|---|---|---|
| Super Why's Comic Book Adventures | "Things that go OO in the Night! / Tricks and Treats! / Costume Catastrophe!" | 23 min |
| Rosie's Rules | "The Legend of Captain Spooky Beard / Crystal's Haunted House" | 26 min |
| Odd Squad | "Oddumentary / I Love It When a Plan Barely Comes Together" | — |
These are listed as full episodes, so the site isn't limited to short clips — it's a place to watch complete stories, not just previews.
Who it's for
The content is designed for a young-child audience, with each show carrying its own educational angle (early literacy, science, social-emotional skills, and so on). For a parent, the practical value is that games and episodes are grouped by familiar characters, so a child can move between watching and playing within the same show world.
How to use it
- Open pbskids.org in a browser.
- Use the Site Menu to pick Games or Videos, or jump to a specific show.
- On the homepage, check Video Picks of the Week for current full episodes.
- Select a game or episode to start — no described sign-up step is needed to browse the featured content.
What to expect: the homepage changes as weekly picks rotate, so the exact episodes shown will differ from visit to visit. The page evidence doesn't specify pricing, account requirements, or device apps, so treat those as things to confirm on the site itself rather than assumptions.
